Romans:11:11-24

*
I say then ,
Have they stumbled that they should fall ?
God forbid :
but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles ,
for to provoke them to jealousy .
*
Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world ,
and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles ;
how much more their fulness ?
*
For I speak to you Gentiles ,
inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles ,
I magnify mine office :
*
If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh ,
and might save some of them .
*
For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world ,
what shall the receiving of them be ,
but life from the dead ?
*
For if the firstfruit be holy ,
the lump is also holy :
and if the root be holy ,
so are the branches .
*
And if some of the branches be broken off ,
and thou ,
being a wild olive tree ,
wert graffed in among them ,
and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree ;
*
Boast not against the branches .
But if thou boast ,
thou bearest not the root ,
but the root thee .
*
Thou wilt say then ,
The branches were broken off ,
that I might be graffed in .
*
Well ;
because of unbelief they were broken off ,
and thou standest by faith .
Be not highminded ,
but fear :
*
For if God spared not the natural branches ,
take heed lest he also spare not thee .
*
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God :
on them which fell ,
severity ;
but toward thee ,
goodness ,
if thou continue in his goodness :
otherwise thou also shalt be cut off .
*
And they also ,
if they abide not still in unbelief ,
shall be graffed in :
for God is able to graff them in again .
*
For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature ,
and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree :
how much more shall these ,
which be the natural branches ,
be graffed into their own olive tree ?
